Matt Stinchfield • palatejack@gmail.com

When: Mar 28, 2023, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM

FIRST CLASS FILLED - SO WE ADDED ANOTHER!

Game of Logging is a world-recognized training curriculum that teaches chain saw skills. Developed in the 1960s by Soren Eriksson, a Swedish logger turned training instructor, the Game of Logging combines Scandinavian logging techniques with the latest systems for working safely around trees.

The "game" refers not only to the friendly competitive aspect of the training, but also to the necessity of having a winning plan or strategy for felling trees and working safely. The program breaks apart saw work into steps that are practiced throughout the course. A fun scoring system helps focus participants' attention on the most important details and allows them to measure their progress each day.

Simply register normally, and at the completion of your courses, we'll coordinate with WRWA on your rebate.
